What will we photograph?

North Dakota Badlands....

In the Badlands we'll do lots of animals including wild horses, buffalo, prairie dogs and deer but also landscapes, flowers (in season) rocks and closeups.

Who Should Attend

There are no minimum requirements.We've had mid-teens to mid 80's. We've had people who have never taken a serious photograph, who had to borrow a camera to come and we've had accomplished, published, experienced photographers with numerous cameras and dozens of lenses.

Equipment and experience are fine but an open mind and a willingness to experience, to learn and to try a few things are more important.

If you are an accomplished photographer, be assured that the visual challenges you'll face will provide ample opportunity for great work.

We have camera equipment for rent on a very limited basis, reserve early.

Additional Workshops

In addition to scheduled workshops, I sometimes take photographers along on my photographic shoots. These occur at different times of the year and may include migrating birds in Spring (I live in the prairie pothole region of North Dakota -- one of the best waterfowl areas on the continent); mule deer in rut in November; buffalo and wild horses in winter.

These trips are customized for individuals and small groups.

I also conduct workshops while I'm traveling in other parts of the country. You and your friends or group of photographers could host a workshop of a day or several days in your locale.

If you're interested in any of the above, email me at patgerlach@bektel.com and we'll discuss it.
